Of course the USE flag advice is given *AFTER* the new flag breaks your system. That's why I use "-*" at the beginning of my USE in /etc/make.conf. I never found out whether hal would break my system<G>. If Dale had used "-*" his X would not have broken, even if some other ebuild pulled it onto the machine as a hard-coded dependancy. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
